Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: What's the people's opinion of chinese electronic groupsets?
« on: March 20, 2025, 08:35:24 AM »A few minor points:Agreed, but paying €400 for an unreliable electronic groupser is worse then paying €150 for a reliable mechanical groupset.
- if your post subject mentions eletronic, doesn't make sense the poll has mechanical. In any case I voted mechanical. Though I love electronic, the word "budget" is a bit of a grey area when we talk about 150€ vs 400€
- if you live in the EU and you need a full groupset, chinese e-groupsets become way too close to 105 di2 or sram rival etap to justify whatever
My intention for this option was: "Chinese electronic groupsets arent worth it, but 105 Di2 is not a viable option in a "value-oriented build"
I personaly am looking for a €+-2500 bike build. Shimano Di2 is possible when pairing it with a entry-level elitewheels pair of wheels and a tantan frame instead of a nice pair of wheels from the likes of Peter and frame from the likes of speeder.
And what do you mean by saying "chinese e-groupsets become way too close to 105 di2 or sram rival etap to justify whatever"
The performance of the chinese options is way to close to justify the premuim of 105
Or
The price of of the chinese options is way to close to justify the hassle of chinese options?
